John Kelly tells NYT Trump said: "Hitler did some good things"

John Kelly, former White House chief of staff under President Trump, has made serious allegations against the former president, claiming that Trump exhibits fascist tendencies and lacks understanding of history and the Constitution. Kelly asserts that Trump praised Adolf Hitler on multiple occasions, highlighting his admiration for dictators. He also recounts a conversation with Trump regarding German generals, where Trump expressed admiration for their loyalty to Hitler, despite their attempts to assassinate him. Kelly further confirms previous reports that Trump disparaged American soldiers who died in World War I, labeling them "suckers" and "losers." He maintains that these incidents are not isolated occurrences, emphasizing Trump's pattern of behavior. In response, Trump's campaign vehemently denies these claims, characterizing Kelly's statements as fabricated and debunked. The campaign asserts that Trump has always honored military service and sacrifice. This latest revelation adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Trump's character and temperament, raising concerns about his fitness for office.
